Gramas Peppery Parsnips Recipes

GRAMA'S PEPPERY PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Place the parsnips into a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer until parsnips are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well, pat the parsnip pieces dry with paper towels, and set aside.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and place the parsnips into the hot butter in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper (I use quite a bit). Cook parsnips until lightly golden brown on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.

ROASTED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

GOOD & EASY PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Cook parsnips in boiling water until a fork pierces them easily. Drain well.
• Add the butter and salt and pepper. Mash lightly with a potato masher or a fork. The parsnips will still be slightly lumpy.

BAKED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Place parsnips in an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish; dot with butter. Add water. Sprinkle with the oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until tender.

PEPPERY PARSNIP FRIES

Steps:

• Cut parsnips lengthwise into 2-1/2x1/2-in. sticks. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add parsnips, a few sticks at a time, and shake to coat., Line two 15x10x1-in. baking pans with foil; coat the foil with cooking spray. Place parnsips in a single layer in pans. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until tender, turning several times.

• Remove parsnip and onion from bag, discarding marinade.
• Preheat oven to 500°.
• Place parsnip and onion in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray.
• Drizzle with oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 500° for 30 minutes or until the parsnip is tender, stirring often.

CRUNCHY PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Blanch the parsnips in boiling water for 4-5 mins until slightly soft. Drain, leave to steam-dry, then tip into a large bowl. Drizzle over the oil and toss to coat all the parsnips.
• Mix the polenta, 2 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp ground black pepper and the paprika, and sprinkle over the parsnips. Toss well, then lay the parsnips out on one large baking tray (or two small ones), with lots of space between them. Roast for 15 mins, turn them over, then roast for another 20-25 mins until golden and crunchy.
